 There are so many things that can condense¹ your sex drive. You're tired, you have a headache, the kids are bugging² you. And now, here's another one to add to the list, global warming. That's right, climate change can kill your mojo. So researchers work in really hot days and work forward 9 months. What they found is fewer babies were born 9 months after those hot days. They define³ really hot days as been over 80?F. Those hot days make couple feel well, maybe not so hot. The impact⁴ was pretty sizable. In the United States, they found that the impact of one hot days meant 11, 00 fewer birth 9 months later. When look at the whole United States, do we have about 30 days a year with temperature climbs above 80°F? However, as global warning takes it toll⁵, it's predicted that we could have 90 days a year with temperature climbs that high. That could mean eventually in the United States, a 100,000 fewer birth several year. Because global warming is just getting hotter. That once, weather called the couple did get back to coupling. But still they didn't make up for the decreases during the hot month. So it turns out that global warming is not just that for oceans in our crop, is also there for sex drive.
